Older slightly used gas are plentiful. The Bobcat and Ranger variety mostly. The crude oil burners are really high hours and still high in price for the ones I find.
Hey, if you happen to be coming towards the greater Stanley metro area anytime soon, I might have something you could start with...

This is why i didn't offer it to you
Then again...out of sight, out of mind. I suppose since it isn't all hanging around your house, then she probably doesn't care!
I've always been partial to the old Fergusons myself, but liking Fergusons vs Fords is like someone preferring a squarebody GMC over a Chevy. Same damn thing!
Umm, also, your wife has GOT to be one of the coolest females on the planet. She got a sister that's single and has poor taste in men?
I'm guessing, sometimes, you go for the tried and true "ask forgiveness, not permission" thing
Looks complete and is that a tool box on the fender? Is it a front mount distributor? Make sure you turn the fuel off when you park it overnight or longer.It was a bit funny last night. The kiddos were at cheer practice when I got home so they hadn’t seen the 9n yet but knew I was getting it.
I picked them up from cheer and we played the “what do you think my new tractor looks like” game.
Their first question was how much did I pay?
Their next response was, “for that much $, it’s probably rusted and has 3 flat tires…. “
My wife said, “it looks like an antique”. She was absolutely right! (For once)
But, something legit cool about it, and its nostalgic. Pulls the shit spreader pretty well too 
Sorta like an old Dodge/Chrysler Slant 6...or the leaning tower of power, as I like to call them!
8N's tested at 22hp, and 9N's at 16hp on the Nebraska tractor test. Massey 35's were 31-32hp. All of them are darn good looking tractors. There's a reason I have a Massey 35.Hard to tear up something when it only has enough compression to (barely) run and makes a mere 25-35 hp, depending on the model
If you keep the points/condenser get on the 8n 9n FB page and find the points jig for the front mount distributor. I think that is what it's called. I love mine. Once I get the pertonix ignition.That is a tool box on the fender.
And is front mount distributor. The previous owner grew frustrated with the tractor as it kept getting harder and harder to start. Sometimes it would work flawless and sometimes it wouldn’t even start. But once started, ran great. He gave up and bought something else. So now it’s my turn to be frustrated.
But, I figure for $800 if I can get it running a few times a year it’s well worth it for not having to remove the back hoe from my Kubota every time I want to drag the driveway or use the bush hog. Minimal cost to take a chance on a 2nd tractor for basic rear implements.
8-10 years ago it had been gone through and was in a local/private museum. Previous owner bought it and put it to work logging about 500 hours on it. It has some signs of use but overall is in pretty good shape. Paint is pretty decent and has some new parts on it. I’m pleased with the purchase.
petronix....<$100 last tiem i bought one.
Hollar if I can help but I'm sure you can figure it out. They are stupid simple.
Yes Mine was about 107 after taxes and all.
